“I heard a blast and felt I lost my leg. Takin out my belt, I started binding it tight to stop the bleeding. I was about to finish, when another explosion followed and I lost my second leg. I tied my second leg with a shoelace from my military boot. Then I lied down waiting for my friends to come for held. I felt a solid material under my head which appeared to be a mine; I took out it through grabbing the soil. The visit of national hero, Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan encouraged me much. I asked him to allow me to continue my military service. I am thankful to him for giving me the opportunity to serve in a unit located in my native Noyemberyan,” Davit said.
